This is the Year to Conquer Bedwetting

Welcome to 2020!  A great New Year’s resolution is to make THIS the year that your child can stop waking up in a wet bed.  Rather than waiting months or years for this to happen spontaneously, you can effectively speed up your son or daughter’s progress to dry nights.

Find the right time

I know that families are busy, with many commitments, and that carving out a good time for a new routine and a few possibly sleepless nights is never easy. 

That said, I think this is a perfect time of the year to tackle bedwetting.  With holidays and travel behind us, most families are getting back in the school routine with a predictable schedule.  Well-rested children with a regular bedtime seem to make better progress when using a bedwetting alarm. 

The first two weeks are the hardest

The first two weeks of using a bedwetting alarm are the most difficult for parents, when your involvement is needed to make sure your child to getting out of bed and walking to the bathroom when the alarm sounds.

Since kids go back to sleep immediately when returning to bed, they do not feel sleep deprived.  Parents may lay awake for awhile, however, depending on where you are in your own sleep cycle. 

Knowing that this disturbance in your sleep is only for a couple of weeks allows most families to make it through this challenging time.  Working on conquering bedwetting at this time of the year before work and travel commitments are in full swing is easier for many families.

Plan ahead

Another advantage of treating bedwetting this time of the year is that summer camps and other vacation plans are still a few months away.  The average child takes 10-12 weeks to get to dryness when using a bedwetting alarm.  Some children stop wetting more quickly and some take a little longer.  By beginning now, your child will have ample time to get to dryness and build up the confidence necessary before sleep away situations present themselves.
